Is potentially a filthy starting five.

A big question mark as always is health but if these guys stay healthy that is as good a 1-5 in all of Baseball.
The deal was

Stupid to begin with. Trading for a pitcher with a shoulder problem. Going to be one of their worst deals ever.

Yeah, this should be a surprise to no one since Montas was on the DL twice with the A's last year before the trade. Cashman is Stick Michael wannabe without the talent. But as long as Hal is making enough money to play with his horses in Ocala, what the heck.
I said to my kids a few weeks ago when they announced

He'd miss the start of the season that he'd never throw another pitch for the Yanks.
I'd bet anything Waldichuk has a better major league career going

forward. Maybe Medina will finally harness his talent after getting out of the Yankees system.

And don't forget Wesneski for Effross. Who knew trading for someone 5 years older and throws 10 mph slower wouldn't be a good idea? And Alcantera may be better than any of the OF we have too.

There is nothing similar between Cashman and Stick.
Montas was never a good trade.

They made it simply to say they traded for a pitcher after losing out on Castillo. Trivino was the better player for them by far and the only one of the two with a future here.
Let's use this thread to discuss the system. Only 3 prospects on the

BA top 100.

Peraza better be the starting SS opening day, that's all I can say.
The twitter source for this rumor has a reddit tag  
shyster : 2/4/2023 2:31 pm : link
for "misleading/unreliable source."

As a number of people in the reddit thread observe, it wouldn't be a surprise if it happened, but the "source" in question is useless.

No idea if it’s true

And a few weeks ago was said he’ll miss a month, but if this is true, why did Cashman pay him $7.5M to just sit out? Especially since NYY and Hal Steinbrenner have luxury tax problems where he doesn’t want to go to the final threshold?
For his sake I hope  
Mook80 : 2/5/2023 12:19 am : link
it's not the case, but he's absolutely infuriating to watch pitch. He nibbles and then when he gets behind throws meatballs. He's got good stuff but I can't stand watching him pitch
What is it the Yankees medical staff just learned now?

They didn’t know at the end of last season? If necessary this should not have been delayed. If that’s the situation it’s irresponsible.

?? They knew his shoulder was inflamed. The recommended course of action was rest and therapy. Whichever Orthopedist that checked him believed that was the proper course of action based on MRIs and examination.

But as been pointed out, the source of the surgery rumor is questionable.
It’s not a curse

Cashman is just a terrible GM.
